Jay 37,287 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Out of curiosity, do you have some kind of promo CD for The Grand Piano? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,233 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Interesting. One of my friends, who is a concert pianist, said Grand Piano's score was a "hack job." He was also comically brutal about the film itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Yeah, I'd love to hear that score. I've heard a lot about it.And i thought you liked The Hobbit Sharkey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Out of curiosity, do you have some kind of promo CD for The Grand Piano?I'm just going by the score as I heard in the film + the soundtrack album.And i thought you liked The Hobbit Sharkey?I liked a couple of tracks here and there, but the rest I find painfully dull. Too many Wilderlands for my taste. Sorry gang, I'm with publicist on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,984 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Wilderlands is one of my favourite tracks. Reminds me so much of The Two Towers - it's probably as close as he got to the sound of trilogy.Karol SafeUnderHill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,287 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 I didn't originally like Wilderland too much, but have grown to like it a real lot. I like the longer version in the film itself, makes it a bit more epic or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,287 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Desolation of Smaug is an interesting score in that it's simultaneously the most unique and different of his Middle Earth scores and closer to the LOTR sound than AUJ was at the same time.

Jay 37,287 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 I still say Grand Piano is one of the best scores of 2013. Glad to finally own it on a real CD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,287 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Come on now, I was being serious. I'd love to discuss the score with someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,233 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I just found it to occupy a really weird space between pastiche and seriousness. Hard to explain really. It just seems like a piece of imitative music that was written to exist in the world of the film as a concerto or whatever, a few incidental minutes of the story, but it massively overstays its welcome by taking on the role of score too. Doesn't help that the film was absolutely ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,287 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 Oh, the film is absolutely terrible, no question. Like, ridiculously bad. I liked the score though, both the main title cue and the performance pieces. If those are a pastiche, I wouldn't know what of, cause I don't know anything about classical music.

Dixon Hill 4,233 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I guess that's the thing. It just doesn't feel like either a play on that stuff or a real score. It's weird. Just not for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,471 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I liked the film too. A very tight and focussed thriller, much like Wes Craven's RED EYE. There isn't a lot of music outside the piano concerto, but that alone is worth the price of admission! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
